Bad Investment
 
What are some contracts in WWE,TNA, or any other wrestling companies that you think were just total waste of time and money. Say anybody even if there Employed or not. I can think of few..........

Santino Marella (He should be a manager not a wrestler and well I hate him)
Jimmy Rave
Judas Messias
Big Daddy V, Viscera,King Mabel
The Mean Street Posse
Adam Pacman Jones

Oh there is so many more i could name.............

Juan 02-20-2009 02:47 AM

Colin Delaney
Zach Gowen
Barbara BB Bush

Just to name a few...

Hornicane 02-20-2009 02:49 AM

Bull Buchanan was pretty horrendous. Especially as B2.

Kane86 02-20-2009 02:50 AM

I tottally forgot about Colin Delany i guess that shows how abd of an investment he was. I have never seen anybody whose titan tron video is them getting there ass kicked the whole time. Hell Eugene looked like Rambo compared to him Oh there is another one.....talk about exploiting disabilities

Hornicane 02-20-2009 02:53 AM

LOL... I loved when Eugene went heel though! I'm surprised JR wasn't calling him the Raging Retard that whole time.

Kane86 02-20-2009 02:54 AM

Funaki Hell until he got the racist new gimmick he ahdn't ahd victory in years.

Hornicane 02-20-2009 02:58 AM

But he WAS Smackdown number one announcer!

Purgatory 02-20-2009 03:15 AM

Rellik in TNA
Mordecai (I'm glad it was over as quick as it was)
Lance Hoyt, Lance Rock, whatever his fucking name was
Giant Gonzalez (old school wwf)

Kane86 02-20-2009 03:20 AM

Rellik (thats killer spelled backwards) that is burned in my head as bad bad choice i know it was not bad contract choice but Black Reign wsa bad bad bad choice and so was Curry man

Glenn Gilberti how the hell did he even ever get over. I remeber when he tried to come back as Disco Inferno in 5 second squash match against Abyss. Thats when I truly learned that disco was indeed dead.................:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: Oh I bet he would of had better success with gay porn.

Stealth-Icon 02-20-2009 03:32 AM

Santino Marella is gold. :love:

Jeritron 02-20-2009 07:16 AM

the mean street posse a bad investment? You just watch yourself son.

In all honesty though, I would have marked if they came to help Shane with legacy. It would have been ridiculous, but I can still mark

Krimzon7 02-20-2009 07:56 AM

:rofl: I was watching NWO at a bar, and right when Legacy hit, somebody screamed out 'Where's the Mean Street Posse!' I couldn't even contain my laughter.

FTR, Santino is a great talent. his biggest problem is that the WWE gave his gimick to Koslov. that whole competition video reminded me of his OVW work.

I'm glad you cleared up that Santino is a great talent for me :y:

Any other pearls of wisdom?

Krimzon7 02-20-2009 08:06 AM

none for now, gotta head to the office.

Kane86 02-20-2009 01:11 PM

No Satino is big fucking waste of money. Somebody tell me why he is so fucking great? Why does everyone hold the pussy up on a pedestal.

screech 02-20-2009 01:27 PM

He is one of the most entertaining characters on the roster. Crowds chant his name when he isn't even wrestling. Now THAT'S being over. How are you not entertained by him?

Because you, a retard, don't like him, makes him a waste of money?

You are a waste of a good facial.

Kane86 02-20-2009 03:32 PM

How the hell ahs he gotten over by basically doing nothing please explain to me. Don't say just because he is fucking funny. Hes a joke pretty much ruined the IC title and well his so called wrestling ability or,the lack there of,is just plain horrible. I could give fuck less about what he babbles about. If there going to bring in an Itailian Stereotype they should have made dress up as Mario so TNA and WWE would each have a fucking videogame character well see which one gets the better ratings. Jesus I have jsut stated why i hate him...............

screech 02-20-2009 03:37 PM

The whole idea of his character is for him to be comedic. And the fact is, he's fucking funny. If you don't like him, stop bitching and just don't watch him. Santino is an awful example of a bad investment. Mark Henry, on the other hand, is a wonderful example.

screech 02-20-2009 03:38 PM

As far as Santino's wrestling ability goes:

No mark henry has to go

Kane86 02-20-2009 03:42 PM

Well maybe a good investment gone wrong. But either way I hate him.

I said that Mark Henry is a wonderful example of a bad investment. Good job.

Krimzon7 02-20-2009 04:19 PM

Santino was in a bad position, rep to you screech for the video. If Santino came to WWE with his moveset added to this gimmick, He'd be fine. He's just funny now, Vladimeer Koslov is getting ME pushes with Santino's gimmick, that has to suck.

If they let him wrestle, he'd be great. I love his current character though, and don't mind him not wrestling so much.

Kozlov getting pushed does suck because Kozlov sucks.

Dolph Ziggler
Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Jamie Noble
Layla
Manu
Mike Knox
Rosa Mendes

I run the risk of "Noiding Up" here, but many of the guys that have been named really aren't/shouldn't have been such bad investments.

The Great Khali for one is a fantastic investment - especially if we are talking moneywise. He opens the Indian/Asian market up to WWE, as made by clear that a Khali loss is edited out of WWE programming shown in India.

Hell, even Bid Daddy V wasn't that bad. Granted he shouldn't have ever won KotR (that was a bad investment) but who doesn't think a 500lb, black guy is intimidating? He worked well within the Ministry and Big Daddy V gave him a new lease of life.

Zack Gowen, Colin Delaney and Santino even have their worth. Not every wrestler can be a Batista or a Cena. They offered/offer an alternative in a sideshow kinda way (well, for Gowen and Delaney).

Mark Henry on the otherhand was a bad investment based solely on the fact that he was givem a ridiculous contract.

GD 02-20-2009 05:15 PM

Goldberg in the WWE.
The Juniors division.

BTW, A Khali loss is never edited in India. Besides the WWE was way too popular during the attitude era. WWE's popularity saw a decline after the departure of the Rock and Stone Cold. TNA gives some tough competition to the WWE in India.

The fact that two people hate him doesn't mean he's a bad investment. He is over with the crowd and his shirts sell (I see them everywhere). You should change "he's a bad investment" to "I just don't like him." They're two completely different things. He makes money for the company, so he's not a bad investment.

I think he is bad investment. Its my thread and my opinion. You should go floss with barb wire.

How exactly is he a bad investment? Because you have no sense of humor and don't like him? That translates into him not making the company money?

Holy CRAP. :eek:

No one has mentioned Mark Henry in this thread.

If I recall correctly, the guy was signed to a fairly huge 10 year contract back in 1996.
